Gayana Eco Resort

Gayana Eco Resort is located on Gaya Island about 30 minutes by boat ride from Kota Kinabalu.

I had stayed here a couple of times and looking forward to my next stay!!

Unique Quality: a tropical paradise just a stone away from Kota Kinabalu

Directions: Resort Location :
Malohom Bay, Gaya Island, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia

Unique Quality: artificial stilt village to make the guests feel closer to the nature. white sandy beach with a very shallow water that showing us schooling fish, anemon fish a.k.a nemo etc everytime, even in the evening.

The inside of the bungalows were quite roomy.
The main room had a couch and chair, writing desk, and TV on one end , also a sliding glass door that went out to the patio over the water.
There was a queen size bed at the other endand the door leading to the walkway.
There was a dressing area off of that room with a large closet, counter with fresh water and coffee supplies.
The bathroom was long and narrow with a nice sink and counter top on one end and a large walk in shower on the other end below double windows.

Unique Quality: The mattress was very comfortable. There was an air conditioning unit in each bungalow plus ceiling fans..

From Kota Kinabalu, it is a 1 1/2 to 2 hr ferry ride out to Gayana Eco Resort.
On the way out the water was a beautiful blue color and so clear that you could almost see the bottom.
We could see the buildings and mountain range in the background but nothing but water ahead.
Finally in a distance we could make out some small buildings with thatched roofs.
We are getting close, and finally we arrived.
Sitting out over the water on stilts were thatched roofed bungalows , restaurant, office/gift shop and a natural pool, not on stilts.

Unique Quality: The food was very good. Buffet breakfast was included in the price of the cottage.
